JFK Airport Hotel

[belle032]

Good morning all!

Everyone is so helpful on the DIS, I thought someone might have some ideas.

Can anyone recommend a hotel nearby JFK airport? Or warn me about hotels not to stay in? DH & I just need a close hotel to stay overnight in to catch our early flight to London the next morning. I know NYC is expensive, but I really don't want to pay $400 for barely a one night stay! So "budget" friendly would be great.

Thanks all!

TWA hotel @ JFK

Pretty cool https://www.twahotel.com
Also, the official JFK site lists several https://www.jfkairport.com/at-airport/airport-hotels but the random date I checked midweek in October, the highest rate was $249 (plus). And it was created from the TWA terminal.

Budget friendly and NY aren't words that usually go together. ​

I've stayed at the Hampton Inn a few times on layovers. It's nothing great, but it's adequate. Shuttle service is good. There's a Marriott and Hilton next door. Not a great area I don't venture outside the hotel.

You want to make sure the hotel isn’t one the city is using for families in crisis.

Mmmm...most likely they're not using the TWA Hotel.

Of course they aren’t, but if the OP is opting for another hotel, read reviews.

I booked TWA Hotel for a night next month before a 6 am flight to California. ( I live in central NJ). I am excited to explore it, it looks pretty cool. Then on to DL and the D23 Expo.

OP I hope you are able to find something that works for you. We have the same situation, early am flight to London for the cruise before yours.
Even a Fairfield Inn was close to $300 + tax which negates the savings of flying out of JFK for us. (We're in South Jersey so EWR provided enough savings vs PHL without needing a hotel the night before.) Have a great cruise!

You can expand your search out further as far as Flushing NY anything in that area will be a 20 minute Uber or less --places like Kew Gardens will be around 10... Just stick with a name and you will be fine... none of the Hotels are in nice areas but none of the areas are considered Dangerous either... if you want something in a nice area (including NYC) you will Pay $$$$ real estate is just expensive period...but finding something for under 150 a night all in should not be an issue.... Even Hotels near LGA airport are fine as JFK is about 5 miles away

Thank you! We usually fly out of Buffalo or Rochester, but the savings from flying into JFK the night before was crazy. Even if we pay around $300 for a hotel, it's still a savings. I think we'll end up going with a Holiday Inn that's nearby and has pretty good reviews. It's coming in at around $200, so kind of expensive for a Holiday Inn, but not horrible. I prefer Hampton's, but they are $100+ more. And like I said, it's less than a 24 hour stay so we'll make it work fine.

Thank you for letting me know this! I have no idea how close/far things are to the airport and what to expect in terms of traffic. I was looking for an airport shuttle due to how early we'll need to be at JFK, but I know there are Ubers around at all times of the day/night.

If you do get a better rate at Hampton the shuttle service is excellent. It runs every 30 minutes and takes about 10 minutes fo get to airport. The Hilton next door has a bar and restaurant but they jack up the prices because they know you have no other option.
I don’t know about holiday Inn but I have stayed at airport hotels where you need reservation for shuttle. It’s something I always ask when checking in. I only know all this because I’ve been stranded at jfk three times. I don’t have the best luck connecting through there.
